Characteristics of almonds

The fruit of the California almond is grey-green in colour. As the fruit matures and hardens, the shell splits in July. From late July to August, the split widens, exposing the almond shell. This allows the almond pit and kernel inside the shell to dry. The kernel and stem are completely separated. As harvest approaches, the shell splits open.
